Special Features
Try playing the Riyaz feature!Page 23
This special feature lets you play Indian phrase patterns via the Tabla/Mri-dangam and Tanpura sounds, as if you were using the Tabla machine and Tan-pura machine. Let’s enjoy the conventional Indian music via the panel buttons and Knobs.
Creating New Sounds via the LIVE CONTROL KnobsPage 21
By adjusting just two LIVE CONTROL Knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion, “sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drastically. Parameters that can be assigned to the LIVE CONTROL Knobs include effect, filter, envelope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time!
Arpeggio FunctionPage 20
Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be produced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
Play a Variety of Instrument VoicesPage 16
The instrument Voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of Voices. You can change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.
Play Along with StylesPage 22
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.The accompaniment Styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band cover-ing a wide variety of Styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much more. Select a Style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new Styles to expand your musical horizons.

Setting Up
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom-mends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than bat-teries and does not deplete resources.
Using an AC AdaptorConnect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the illustration.
Using BatteriesThis instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries are recommended for this instrument, since other types may result in poorer battery perfor-mance.
Installing the batteries
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off (display is blank, except for notation staff).
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-ment.
4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
When battery power becomes too low for proper oper-ation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-recharged ones.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 61) only. Using the wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the plug. To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or mal-function occurs, immediately turn the power off and dis-connect the plug from the outlet.
• Follow this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the AC adaptor.

CAUTION
NOTE
• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of data being recorded or transferred at the time.
• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.

Setting the battery typeAfter installing the new batteries then turning the power on, make sure to set the Battery Type to Rechargeable type or not. For details, refer to page 50.
Checking the power status on the
display
Power source on the displayYou can confirm the power source at the left corner of the display.
When is shown, the power is supplied from the AC adaptor. When is shown, the power is sup-plied from the batteries. When the AC adaptor is con-nected with the batteries installed, the power is supplied from the AC adaptor and the indication is shown.
Remaining battery power indicationYou can confirm the approximate amount of remain-ing battery power at the top left of the display.
Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the [PHONES/OUT-PUT] jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.
Connecting a Footswitch to the [SUSTAIN] jack
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional footswitch plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. Although the footswitch works as the Sustain pedal for most Voices, it features other functions such as Sostenuto and Arpeggio Hold (for Voices 253–298). One of these functions can be assigned to the footswitch on the Function display (page 50).
• Failure to set the Battery Type may shorten the amount of the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly.
Indicates that the power will be turned off immediately. When rechargeable batteries are used, this icon flashes before the power is turned off.
Indicates that remaining power is insufficient for operation. Before the power runs out, replace all the batteries with new ones, or fully recharged ones (when using rechargeable types). Note that the instrument may not work properly, including unusually soft volume and poor sound quality when remaining power becomes low.
Indicates that the remaining power is suffi-cient.
NOTICE
Only one of these is shown.
Harmnum1
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experi-ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy-sician.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn off the power for all components.
• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
• When Split is on, the sustain function does not affect the cur-rent Split Voice (page 17) while sostenuto and Arpeggio Hold (page 39) affect only the current Split Voice.
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result-ing in reversed footswitch operation.

Parameters Assigned to the LIVE CONTROL Knobs
This section describes each of the parameters which can be assigned to the LIVE CON-
TROL Knobs (page 21).
z RIYAZ
Knob A: BALANCE 1
Adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of Tabla/Mridangam 1 and 2.
Knob B: BALANCE 2
Adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of Tabla/Mridangam and Tanpura.
x RIYAZ
Knob A: TEMPO
Adjusts the tempo of Tabla/Mridangam playback while the Tanpura playback tempo is maintained. This follows typical Indian music stylistic conventions.
Knob B: KEY
Raises or lowers the pitch of the Riyaz sound in semi-tones, with the exception of Tabla 1/Mridangam. This accurately simulates the characteristics of the Tabla, in which the lower sound is not affected by the tuning. Note that also the pitch of Tabla 2 may not be changed depending on the Riyaz pattern.
c FILTER
Filter effects shape the sound by allowing only a spec-ified range of frequencies to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” frequency. Fil-ter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like sounds.
Knob A: CUTOFF
Adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of the sound. Turning the Knob to the left makes the sound more muffled or darker, while turn-ing the Knob to the right makes the sound brighter.
Knob B: RESONANCE
Adjusts the amount of Resonance applied at the fil-ter’s cutoff frequency. Turning the Knob to the right will increases the Resonance to emphasize the fre-quencies at the cutoff frequency, and thus “strength-ens” the perceived effect of the filter.
v EFFECT
Knob A: REVERB
Reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club. Turning the Knob to the right will increase the Reverb depth.
Knob B: CHORUS
Produces a layered “multi-instrument” effect. Turning the Knob to the right will increase the Chorus depth.
b EG (Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a vio-lin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sustain to best match the music you’re playing.
Knob A: ATTACK
Adjusts the Attack Time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Turning the Knob to the right will increase the Attack Time, thus slowing down the attack rate.
• When Knob B is turned all the way left, only the pitch of the Tabla 2 sound is raised abruptly by an octave. This is due to a limitation in this instrument.
• These effects are applied only to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard.
• Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass fre-quencies.

Some Ideas for Using the LIVE CONTROL Knobs
• These effects are applied only to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard.
NOTE
Number/Effect Try This
zRIYAZ(BALANCE 1/BALANCE 2)
Knob A adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of Tabla/Mridangam 1 (having the lower sound) and Tabla/Mridangam 2 (having the higher sound of Tabla/Mridangam). Knob B adjusts the volume balance between the sounds of the Tabla/Mridangam (assigned to the [TABLA 1] and [TABLA 2] buttons) and Tanpura (assigned to the [TANPURA 1]–[TANPURA 4] buttons). Play with these Knobs as the patterns loop, sing along if you wish, and create your own performance.
xRIYAZ(TEMPO/KEY)
Knob A adjusts the tempo of Riyaz playback. Setting to the minimum left-most position results in half the default tempo, while setting to the maximum right-most position results in double the default tempo. The center position corre-sponds to the default tempo. Note that the tempo cannot exceed the range (11–280), and that the tempo of the Tanpura patterns will not change even if you rotate Knob A. Knob B raises or lowers the pitch of the Riyaz sound in semi-tones. Regarding the Tabla, only the higher sound (assigned to the [2] button) will be transposed. Rotating the knob leftward lowers the pitch while rotating the knob rightward raises the pitch.
Use these knobs to set the desired tempo and key, sing along if you wish, and create your own performance!
c FILTERSelect a synth-type lead or pad Voice (refer to the Voice List in the Data List on the website). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey, floating 1980’s effects.
v EFFECT
Select a Voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the Voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the Voice.
b EG
Select an Indian Voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 o’clock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces.
n STYLE FILTER
Select Style 001 Dholly. Turn accompaniment on and start Style playback (page 22). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall sound of the Style should be a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact.

Arpeggio Settings
Synchronizing an Arpeggio to Song/Style/Riyaz Playback—Arpeggio Quantize
When you play the keyboard to trigger an Arpeggio (page 20) along with Song/Style/Riyaz playback, you’ll need to play the notes with correct timing to keep the Arpeggio in synchronization with the other playback tracks. However, your actual timing may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both). The “Arpeggio Quantize” function of this instrument will correct any slight imperfections in the timing (accord-ing to settings below), and then play back the Arpeg-gio appropriately.
• Synchronizing at the quarter notes
• Synchronizing at the 8th notes
• No synchronization with Style or Song playback
Although the Arpeggio Quantize value is pre-pro-grammed for each Arpeggio Type, you can change the value manually.

save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings.
The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for the future use.
IMPORTANT
• It is recommended to use the AC adaptor when executing USB Flash Drive operations, since battery power may not be reliable enough to last through these crucial operations. When you try executing certain functions, the “Use Adaptor” indication may appear and the selected function cannot be executed.
Precautions when using the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Compatible USB devices
• USB flash drive
Other USB devices such as a USB hub, computer key-board or mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not necessarily support all com-mercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB devices that you pur-chase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please visit the following web page:
https://download.yamaha.com/
Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this instrument, the amount of time for saving to or load-ing from the USB device may differ depending on the type of data or the status of the instrument.
Connecting a USB deviceWhen connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.
Using a USB Flash Drive
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.
Number of USB flash drives that can be usedOnly one USB flash drive can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
Formatting a USB flash driveYou should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument (page 53). A USB flash drive formatted on another device may not operate properly.
To protect your data (write-protect)To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB flash drive, make sure to disable write-protect.
Turning off the instrumentWhen turning off the instrument, make sure that the instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by playback/recording or file management (such as dur-ing Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Fail-ure to do so may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data.
• For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.
• The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maxi-mum of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.
NOTE
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/recording and file management opera-tions (such as Save, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two operations.
• Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB device.
• The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are format-ting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB flash drive.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electri-cal power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is producedUsing a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may pro-duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument
The instrument is automatically turned off even if no operation is done.
This is normal. This occurs due to the Auto Power Off function (page 14).
The volume is too soft.The sound quality is poor.The Style/Riyaz/Song/Arpeggio stops unexpectedly or will not play.The recorded data of the Song, etc. does not play cor-rectly.The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel set-tings are reset.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with com-pletely new ones or completely recharged ones, or use the AC adaptor.
No sound is produced even when the keyboard is played, or a Song, Style, or Riyaz is being played back.
Check whether a set of headphones or an audio cable is con-nected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT], or not. When such a connec-tion is made, no sound is output from the speaker of this instrument.
Check the on/off status of the Local Control (page 49). Normally, set this parameter to ON.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the oppo-site effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the foot-switch plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power.
No sound is produced even when playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard, although chords played in the left hand area are recognized.
Check whether or not the Dictionary function (page 45) is used. When used, this is normal.
Not all of the Voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off, when playing the keyboard, Arpeggio, Style or Riyaz or Song.
You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum amount of notes that can be played simultaneously) of this instrument. If the Main, Dual, and Split Voices are being used along with playback of Arpeggio, Style, Riyaz or Song, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”).
The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.
This is normal. The tone generation method uses multiple record-ings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note.
The keyboard performance and playback of Style/Riyaz/Song produces an unexpected or inappropriate sound, and cannot be restored to the normal status.
Using the LIVE CONTROL Knobs can produce dramatic changes in the sound, but may also produce unexpected or undesired sounds. If you want to restore the original, normal sound before being changed by the LIVE CONTROL Knobs, change the Voice, Style, Riyaz or Song, or press the [HARMONIUM/PIANO] button to reset the panel settings.
The Style, Riyaz or Song does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. The Arpeggio does not start even when the note is pressed with the Arpeg-gio turned on.
Check the on/off status of the External Clock (page 49). Normally, set this parameter to OFF.
The volume of the Style, Riyaz or Song is too low. Check the volume setting in the Functions (pages 42 and 47).
The chords played in the left hand area cannot be recog-nized even when the ACMP is turned on.
Check the Split Point setting (page 43). Set this to the appropriate value.
Style parts other than the Rhythm part produce no sound.
Check the on/off status of the ACMP (page 22). Make sure to turn ACMP on.
The ACMP indicator does not appear on the display when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
Check the on/off status of the [STYLE] lamp. When using a Style, press the [STYLE] button to turn on the [STYLE] lamp.
